#XDA-Tea - Off-topic

What is the perfect blend for the official XDA-Tea.
Give us your favourites.

Lol, great thread!
My fav blend is for the morning: Green tea, mid day Earl Grey with 3 drops of lemon and for the afternoon pure black tea (minimum 3 cups) with my "special" ingredient

Im looking forward to Orb's "Coffee"
</inside-mod-jokes>

Can one make Tea from Peyote?
Today I had "Bella Lousia" Tea made from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloysia_citrodora
My grandmother used to make this in Portugal.
PS: Did you know I'm still using the old XDA Theme, only because I don't want to update my Avatar with the new BG Colour

only mods huh

I defy the gods! I prefer Oolong tea with St.John's wart and two tea spoons of sugar.

Describe normal

On it´s way Steve!, should arrive tomorrow or Thurs, let me know

Since it's Chinese New Year next week, I'll leave this here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-erh_tea
It has a slightly bitter tang, as well as a rich after-taste. It is the premier tea to be enjoyed with Dim Sum, and also some afternoon snacks or while playing Mahjong (at least for me...)
Also, Chinese insists on using clay teapots like these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yixing_clay_teapot
And we are not supposed to wash the pots. (!)

Baaaaaaaaa....Nana! I did not know nanas liked tea.
*someone wants to be a Mod *

I have one of those teapots buyed a while ago during my China trip, they are amazingly nice!
And yes never to wash with soap a teapot, same as coffee, only rinse with water

Yeah I prefer to make my own blend from natural herbs though I have a garden in the back that my Mother loves to tend and she makes great ingredients for the tea. It's all natural haha
(I do wanna be a mod but I don't see that happening anytime soon, or ever.)

My dad invested in one. My mom broke the cover on top and he still mentions it she's a butter-finger anyway
And yes, I'm a coffee guy in the morning, but I know how to enjoy tea.
And one more link drop from the tea culture in Malaysia:

I'm not against the bitter teas. Sweet tea is just all I've known for as long as I can remember.

Cameron was nice to look at! I'm a Days of Our Lives fan though. Hmm...if Marie can add a little more content to her dances and not faint, I think she'll be safe next week. I image she has a bigger fan base than Jenny Garth. Jenny is very graceful in the ballroom dances. I really enjoyed Cameron's Paso.

I'll elaborate. I've been back and forth with jobs for the past year, laid off from a car dealership for lack of work, etc. Wellll, I've never really known what I wanted to do with my life, career choice, that is. I'm a computer nerd/tech geek, whatever, and I love working on, repairing, building, cars, so I'm also a gearhead. Woke up about a week or two ago and wanted to be a cop. I have no idea why the idea came to me, but I love it. Hopefully soon I can get started on becoming a police officer!

Highschool is the best thing ever!!!!

Well i started highschool 2 weeks ago and i was kinda nervous. Everyone always talked about the freshman getting picked on and everything else but that dont happen. Its awesome theres so many hot girls to look at and talk to and the food is great(compared to the middle school). Just thought id tell you guys and any other freshman that are nervous about starting. The only bad thing is that i cant spend near as much time on Xda or on my phone anymore flashing new roms/radios and trying to find the perfect theme...
lol Youngin'. Live it up, but just don't become like the rest of the highschool kids these days and have 2+ kids before you graduate. lol.
Always remember to wrap it before you tap it.
LMAOOOOOOOOO!!!! BR0! I'M GOING TO BE A FRESHMEN IN 12 DAYS AND I CAN'T WAIT!!! WISH ME LUCK! I hope it is as good as you say it is.!

I would do it next year if i were you. It will give you time to grow, practice and get stronger. If your serious about playing football start working out everyday and after you workout put some protein powder in your drink and you will grow muscles faster than you can blink haha...but that stuff is some of the worst stuff i have ever tasted thats the only bad thing.
Lmaoo. I guess I'll try going back to that again. Well, didn't mean to hijack your Thread. Tell us more.

u can buy flavored ones , basically its like hot chocolate but its cold
also , working out every day isnt gonna do good cuz u grow when u rest , and if u dont give it time to rest ... well yea
3-4 a week is good
also , steroids do kick ass but u got lotsa time on ur hands dont get too desperate to do that (yet)
I didn't mind high school as bad as jr.high..Hated jr.high.
I graduated in '04 and freshman getting picked on was the norm..Hell, still is there. Glad your one of the lucky kids that dosen't have to worry about it..lol
I realised that high school was like jail..Keep your head up and your mouth **** and you'll be ok.. Start messing with the jocks women and you WANT be ok..lol
I wish you luck and always remember..If there bigger then you..Kick em in the nuts..lol

Most Yankees have today off. What about the rest of the world?

Yep, the birds are chirping, lawn is mowed, grill is prepped, meat marinating, and cocktail in hand.
What's the rest of the world doing?
good day.
Working mostly or sleeping
We are in a normal working day
Here in México our labor day it´s on May 1st
Just about to start my 12hour night shift
On Xda like 10,000 persons right now
Barbecued yesterday. No marinades, just salt, pepper, and organic lemon juice (squeezed fresh off the bush). Good meat speaks for itself
And the Dodgers lost to the Giants yesterday, so today I can REALLY relax. lol

Moment of Silence.

Let's all have a moment of silence for my teammate and close friend who was recently injured at practice today.
We were doing some Oklahoma's and he traded places with me in line, went up agains some kid, and landed on the ground with his leg sticking up in an uncorrect angle. Had to call the ambulance and everything.
I didn't like this kid at first, but lately, he's been really cool and we got pretty close, and I will miss him for the rest of the season.
That sucks. And I bet it hurts.
You've left us in the dark on how the team is doing?
good day.

B-Team is like, 1-3? And A-Team is like 0-4.
Sorry to hear that, ive broken my thumb once from football but thats nothing compared to that kid. on another note...
My highschool is best in the State (Washington) for football, state champions 3 years in a row, 4 Peat coming up
Thank God he's alright. It looked so bad but he only broke three bones. Well, maybe I should take out the only, but I'm just glad he'll be okay.
Do you realize you were supposed to be there? lol
Also pics pl0x
that does suck. Broke a kid's leg once in middle school football. I hit him low from one side, while another defender hit him high from the other. Tib/fib fracture. Only time I felt bad for hitting someone...
Yeah I know it was supposed to be me lol.
No. Some kid took pictures and sent them to some people, it's DISGUSTING! Who'd do that to a teammate?!
And yeah. He got tackled and his foot got stuck on the ground and his body turned.
